Groups in scenes

[Jay Ess 6]

Hi I have 13 devices split in to 3 groups and am checking them if they are in the state they need to be and if not then put them in the state they should be using this code.

for k,i in ipairs(GroupBedroom)  do

    if fibaro.getValue(i, "value") == curtainStateVariable then

        fibaro.call(i,GroupBedroomDirection)

    end

end

At the moment i have to run this three times seperatly and was looking for a way to loop through the different groups i have in one go.

 

many thanks for any help.

Above is probably the cleanest if you already have 3 tables. Alternatively restructure using a common list with all devices

Thank you for your input, at the moment I build my tables as follows,

--List Curtains Devices

local LivingLeft = 178

local LivingCentre = 183

local LivingRight = 197

local Dining = 259

local Study = 269

local MasterBedroom = 264

--Establish Groups

local GroupDownstairsFront = {Dining,Study}

local GroupDownstairsBack = {LivingLeft,LivingCentre,LivingRight}

local GroupBedroom = {MasterBedroom}

 

then work out the direction i want it to move and then work out the times etc... and then cycle through the groups to open and close as each one is required.

 

would you suggest that it would be better to make the table with the names and id in one go?
